Bodoque owes money to a monster so he made... this chaotic Shakespeare fever dream.
To pay his gambling debts, Juan Carlos Bodoque promises Mr. Monster the greatest Romeo and Juliet ever made. Five years later, he hasn’t written a single line. With disaster looming, he drags the “31 Minutos” crew into an improvised, off-the-rails version of Shakespeare’s tragedy. Complete with songs, confusion, and total nonsense.
